In our previous blog, we explained how tempting it is to spoil your pets with treats and how easy it is to overfeed them. Especially when you are training them, the treats can add up quickly. Dogs will only do something if there is something in it for them, whether that is a tasty treat or playtime with their favourite human. Some dogs are happy with a pat on the head, but, maar all dogs will happily work for food. But how do you train your dog with treats, and not end up with a circular dog? Read on!

Stinky kitty litters: Everything you need to know about cat poop
Cat poop. Not something you see a lot if your cat is an outdoor tiger. And you’d probably rather flush your indoor kitty’s poo down the toilet the moment it appears, instead of examining it in detail!

Meat, rice and vegetables: which foods does my pet need?
In our last blog, we’ve told you all about how wild predators became our loveable furbabies. Even though our house wolves and tigers now feel perfectly at home in our human dwellings, they have both retained some wild characteristics. At times, they display some funny behaviours, but their diet and teeth also show remnants of a wild past. Dogs have adapted somewhat to our human diet, but cats have to eat in the same way as their wild ancestors. That’s what we will be exploring in this blog. Because what constitutes a balanced pet food, that satisfies the needs of our canine and feline friends? Why have we invented snacks for teeth, and why are some cats treats so incredibly crunchy?

Fortunately, there is a great solution: you can teach your cat to walk on a leash! That way, you can walk your cat and go on adventures together. Some people take their cats hiking, camping and even sailing on a boat! But how do you teach her to walk on a leash?
